Portraits of Papua New Guinea

Since I left Afghanistan I've allowed my love for portrait to lie fallow. The last time I took any portraits was when I visited Papua New Guinea, more than a year ago. Tonight I finally sat down to process those photos.

They've made me think that I might like to take portraits of people right here in Paekakariki.

There is something about being far from 'home' that gives me the courage to ask people if I can photograph them. But will I have the chutzpah to ask my own neighbours?
